Diode for tail light conversion
I have two stop lights and each having its own turn signal. Does anyone know of a "diode black box" that plugs into our factory harness that allows standard two wire automotive syle lights to be wired out of it? Here is a photo of what I have. The problem is the HD harness has a separate brake and turn signal wire. My lights are dual LED's, 2 wires, plus a ground, one lamp for running and the other for stop/turn.

To The Top because I need to know, LOL....Did a little research. What I am looking for is the guys that tow trailers behind their HD's, what electronic box do you use to convert the 5 wire HD harness to a 4 wire for the trailer lights?

Use the Badlands illuminator run brake turn module. Then wire both lights into the turn signal harness. They will act as run brake and turn.

Ride Time Technology makes a harness that allow for light conversions. It just plugs into the harness under the seat. I have one on the way to change out the lights on the ultra. About 45$. Keith will set you up with what you need.

I used the HD run/brake/turn signal module (that HD sells to plug between the connectors under the seat at the rear fender) and spliced into the brown and violet turn signal wires (that control the rear turn signals) with a power wire from each of the HD saddlebag spoiler LED's in order to make the saddlebag spoiler LED's function as run/brake/turn signal lights. I also spliced the ground wire from each saddlebag LED to the ground wires from the module. Has worked fine for 2+ years--the turn signals worked as run/brake/turn signals and so did the saddlebag LED's, with no loss of brightness--they functioned identically to my buddy's turn signals and saddlebag LED's except that my saddlebag LED's also worked as turn signals.
Good luck with your project.
